video UN: vault thief

[phaseflex]

[opening up, amara is beaming at the camera. she's clearly in an alleyway of the willful machine, if the light and bustle a little ways off from her is any indication. she has a huge bag of popcorn in one hand, the other holding the omni-- her signature tattoos glow across her arms and neck, though right now they're a bright orange instead of the usual blue.]

Yoooo! This market has orange popcorn! You have no idea how long it's been since I've had some! [a truly unfortunate and very strange looking dog briefly pops into frame as it makes a lunge for the popcorn with a long, prehensile tongue. amara doesn't seem too bothered by it, responding by lifting the bag up and chiding it;] Not for you, Skag. This is people food.

[moving on...]

I'm Amara! I am known as the Tiger of Partali, the wisest cowboy to ever walk the land and possible brain surgeon! That last one involves a lot more metaphysical punching than you would expect. Anyway! That giant snake is an equally giant pain in the ass, so I'm gonna tear its head off and give it to the Hunters in lieu of a resumé. Anyone down to join? It'll be a fun evening out!

They usually do. [ In every world ever. He does not accept critique on this view.

He wrinkles his forehead because somehow explaining a jinchuuriki out loud sounds ridiculous. ] They're people who have the Tailed Beasts sealed inside of them. They can usually call on their power in battle and amplify their own techniques with it.

[amara does not disagree.]

Ah! I understand now. They sound like they would be a fun fight.

[retsuden]

It certainly keeps things interesting.

[ Naruto is still his favorite sparring partner for a reason. He goes to pull out his sword when the snake paths seem like they're a little more mushy than icy. Freshly melted snow means they're getting closer, right? ]

[phaseflex]

[she doesn't reply-- freshly melted snow and faint vibrations in the ground. amara stops, looking around and frowning.]

It seems to be... this way, [she points to the right, though doesn't start moving.] what do you think?

[retsuden]

[ He lets himself feel the way the earth gently rumbles for a second before nodding. ​]

I've heard it's difficult to sneak up on the thing. Did you have a plan or was your intention to wing it?

[phaseflex]

Generally my plans begin and end at hit it until it stops moving. Hasn't led me astray yet.

[she's glad they're on the same page with tracking the rumbles -- that is definitely a hill she was lowkey prepared to die on. possibly even literally.]

That being said, my expertise comes in drawing attention and doing heavy damage in single hits. I can tank it if you DPS it.

[retsuden]

[ DPS it????????? WHY DOES EVERYONE HERE TALK SO WEIRD. At least he can put two and two together; if she does single heavy hits, he does multiple, faster hits. Which is what he's really made for anyway. ]

Understood.
